SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires agentmail-mcp, mcp.

What problem does it solve? Agents often need their own email identity to sign up for services, receive verification codes, or communicate with humans, but they cannot access a user's personal inbox. This Skill gives the agent a dedicated email address it fully controls for sending, receiving, and managing email autonomously. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Agent-Owned Inboxes: Create dedicated inboxes with real email addresses (e.g. [email protected]) through 11 MCP tools covering inbox, thread, and message management. - Full Email Operations: Send, reply to, and forward messages, list and read threads, update message labels, and download attachments. - Use Case: Register the agent for an online service using its own address, poll for the verification email with list_threads, and read the confirmation code with get_thread — all without touching the user's personal email. ## Quick Start Add the AgentMail MCP server with your API key to the Hermes config, restart, then ask the agent to create an inbox and send a test email.

Frequently Asked Questions about agentmail

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I give an AI agent its own email address?

Use the AgentMail MCP server to call create_inbox with a username, which returns a real address like [email protected]. The agent can then send, receive, and manage email from that inbox autonomously.

How do I set up the AgentMail MCP server with Hermes?

Add an mcp_servers entry in ~/.hermes/config.yaml with command npx, args -y agentmail-mcp, and your AGENTMAIL_API_KEY in env. Restart Hermes and all 11 AgentMail tools become available automatically.

Can AgentMail read my personal email inbox?

No, AgentMail only manages inboxes the agent creates and owns on the agentmail.to domain. For reading a user's personal email, use a separate tool such as himalaya or Gmail integration.

What are the limitations of the AgentMail free tier?

The free tier allows 3 inboxes and 3,000 emails per month, and addresses use the @agentmail.to domain. Custom domains require a paid plan starting at $20 per month.

Does AgentMail support real-time inbound email notifications?

Real-time inbound email requires webhooks pointed at a public server. For personal use, poll periodically with list_threads via a cronjob instead of running a webhook endpoint.
